[0031] Figures 1-2 This is a schematic diagram of the controller handling fixture in this embodiment. Figure 5 and Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of the controller installed in the trunk. The controller handling fixture is used to assist the robotic arm in quickly and accurately placing the controller in the controller mounting position in the trunk, making the controller more securely installed in the vehicle and ensuring optimal controller performance.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the controller handling fixture includes a support assembly, at least one guide pulley 2, and an elastic rope 3. At least one guide pulley 2 is mounted on top of the support assembly. One end of the elastic rope 3 is connected to the support assembly, and the other end of the elastic rope 3 extends between multiple supports 1 after passing through the guide pulley 2. The elastic rope 3 is used to connect to the controller, thereby placing the controller A into a predetermined position in the trunk with the assistance of a robotic arm. The guide pulley 2 guides the elastic rope 3, preventing it from moving laterally or backward during the handling of the controller A, and avoiding wear, thus improving the accuracy and stability of the controller A's placement.

[0033] The bracket assembly is used to mate with the side wall of the trunk controller mounting position during transport of controller A, providing support during the handling of controller A. Simultaneously, it reaches a limit stop during the support process to prevent misalignment or uneven placement of the controller when it falls into the trunk controller mounting position. The trunk controller mounting position is typically a mounting slot provided inside the trunk.

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the bracket assembly includes multiple brackets 1, the ends of which are respectively matched with different positions on the side wall of the trunk controller mounting position, so that the controller handling fixture can be stably supported above the trunk controller mounting position, making it easy to accurately place the controller A in the predetermined position.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the bracket assembly also includes a connecting plate 7, through which multiple brackets 1 are connected together. The multiple brackets 1 extend outwards and downwards from both sides of the connecting plate 7, so that after the multiple brackets 1 are supported and connected to the trunk controller mounting position, the connecting plate 7 is positioned directly above the trunk controller mounting position. An elastic rope 3 passes through the wire hole 5 on the connecting plate 7 and connects to the controller, ensuring that the controller is positioned between the multiple brackets 1 with a stable and centered center of gravity. This allows the controller A to be aligned with the mounting position when placed in the trunk, improving installation accuracy.

[0036] The bracket assembly also includes an auxiliary support rod 8 and a reinforcing connecting rod 9. The reinforcing connecting rod 9 connects the two brackets 1 to improve the strength and stability of the bracket 1. One end of the auxiliary support rod 8 is connected to the bracket 1, and the other end of the auxiliary support rod 8 extends downward to form a triangular support with the bracket 1, which improves the stability of the bracket assembly after it contacts the trunk controller mounting position.

[0037] Furthermore, a cable passage hole 5 is provided at the top of the support assembly. The elastic rope 3 passes through the guide pulley 2 and extends through the cable passage hole 5 to the space between multiple supports 1, allowing the elastic rope 3 to meet the hoisting requirements of the controller A and improving the stability of transporting the controller A. Specifically, the cable passage hole 5 is located on the connecting plate 7, which is situated at the center of the support assembly. This ensures that the center of gravity of the elastic rope 3 after connecting to the controller is located at the center of the support assembly, preventing uneven stress on the support assembly and thus improving the stability of the controller installation.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly also has a connection hole 6. The robot arm connects to the controller handling fixture by connecting to the connection hole 6, thereby enabling the robot arm to move the controller A with the controller handling fixture. Specifically, the connection hole 6 can be located on the connecting plate 7 or on the support 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, the support assembly includes four supports 1, two auxiliary support rods 8, and two reinforcing connecting rods 9. The four supports 1 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the connecting plate 7. A reinforcing connecting rod 9 connects two supports 1 located on the same side of the connecting plate 7 to improve support strength and stability. Each of the two supports 1 has an auxiliary support rod 8 connected to it. One end of the auxiliary support rod 8 is fixedly connected to the support 1 near its bottom, and the other end extends downwards to form a triangular support with the support 1, thereby further improving support stability.

[0040] The bracket 1, auxiliary support rod 8, and reinforcing connecting rod 9 can be made of square tubing or profiles. The bracket 1, connecting plate 7, auxiliary support rod 8, and reinforcing connecting rod 9 can be connected together by welding or threading.

[0041] In this embodiment, the guide pulley 2 is installed on the top of the support assembly, allowing the elastic rope 3 to change its tension direction after passing through, making the applied force direction more consistent with actual operational requirements. Simultaneously, the guide pulley 2 can also guide the elastic rope 3 through the cable hole 5, preventing wear caused by contact between the elastic rope 3 and the hole wall. Preferably, the number of guide pulleys 2 can be two or more.

[0042] The controller handling fixture also includes a pulley mounting bracket 10, fixed to the top of the support assembly, with the guide pulley 2 rotatably connected to the pulley mounting bracket 10. The pulley mounting bracket 10 can be a U-shaped bracket, and the guide pulley 2 can be rotatably connected to it via a pivot. The wheel surface of the guide pulley 2 can be exposed from the top and sides of the pulley mounting bracket 10, thus preventing friction against the elastic rope 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the elastic rope 3 includes multiple connecting ropes. The portions near the first ends of the multiple connecting ropes are wound together to form a single unit, while the portions near the second ends of the multiple connecting ropes remain unwound. That is, a portion of the multiple connecting ropes is wound together, while a portion remains unwound and in its original state. This makes it easy to connect the wound end to the support assembly, and the unwound end can be connected to multiple positions of the controller, thereby improving the stability of the controller handling fixture during connection to the controller and during handling.

[0044] In this design, the first end of multiple connecting ropes is connected to a first hook, and the second end of each connecting rope is connected to a second hook. That is, the first end of the elastic rope 3 is connected to the support assembly via the first hook, and the second end of the elastic rope 3 is connected to the controller via the second hook. This method of connecting the elastic rope 3 to the support assembly and the controller via the first and second hooks facilitates easy connection and release.

[0045] Furthermore, a fixing plate 4 is installed on the outer side of the bracket assembly, and the fixing plate 4 is provided with a mounting hole 41 that mates with the first hook. The mounting hole 41 can be a round hole, a side-opening hole, or other shapes. The elastic rope 3 is connected to the mounting hole 41 via the first hook, and after passing through the guide pulley 2, it enters the cable passage hole 5. This prevents the elastic rope 3 from contacting the bracket assembly, avoiding friction during its up-and-down movement. The elastic force of the elastic rope 3 can be set according to the weight of the controller, balancing the elastic rope 3 with the controller's gravity, allowing the operator to easily press it to the predetermined installation position of the controller in the trunk.

[0046] The controller handling fixture and the controller are connected by an elastic rope 3. The entire assembly is supported by a bracket component. The end of the bracket is designed to match the sloping wall of the controller mounting position in the trunk, and simultaneously reaches a limit stop during support to prevent the controller from being misaligned or placed off-center when it falls in. The elastic rope moves vertically via guide pulleys, allowing the controller to maintain gravity balance and move vertically, making it easy for the operator to adjust the controller's height.

[0047] When installing the controller into the vehicle's trunk, first connect the second end of the elastic rope of the controller handling fixture to the lifting holes on the controller, such as... Figure 3 As shown; then connect the robot arm to the connection hole of the controller handling fixture; then the robot arm lifts and moves the controller handling fixture and controller into the trunk, as shown. Figure 4As shown, the elastic rope of the controller transport fixture is finally separated from the controller, and the robotic arm moves the controller transport fixture out of the trunk. During the lifting and movement by the robotic arm, the operator needs to assist in placing the controller transport fixture in the appropriate position in the trunk and ensuring the controller is accurately placed in the predetermined position. When it is necessary to remove the controller from the vehicle, first place the controller transport fixture in the appropriate position in the trunk, then connect the second end of the elastic rope of the controller transport fixture to the lifting hole of the controller, then connect the robotic arm to the connection hole of the controller transport fixture, and then the robotic arm lifts and moves the controller out of the vehicle. Finally, the controller transport fixture is separated from the controller and the robotic arm.

[0048] The controller handling fixture in this embodiment includes a support assembly with multiple supports, guide pulleys, and elastic ropes. The guide pulleys are mounted on top of the support assembly. One end of the elastic rope is connected to the support assembly, and the other end extends through the guide pulleys to the space between the supports. The ends of the supports mate with the side wall of the controller mounting position in the trunk. The controller handling fixture can be used with the assistance of a robotic arm to move the controller, easily allowing for position changes during transport, preventing misalignment or uneven placement when the controller falls into the trunk, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
